The North West Company Tulita

The North West Company Inc. is proud of the active role we play within the communities we serve, striving to make a positive, progressive difference. Our contributions within the community of Tulita, NT, are a testament to our commitment.

Formerly known as Fort Norman, Tulita is a Hamlet in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories. The community is located at the junction of the Great Bear River and the Mackenzie River and was incorporated as a Hamlet in 1984. In 1996 the community took back its traditional name, which means “where the waters meet” in the Dene language – and reflects the community’s location.

Tulita is home to 478 residents (as per the Hamlet’s website) and is composed of Dene, Métis and non-Indigenous people who speak North Slavey and English.
